3-axis stabilizers ala FreeFly MOVi or ZenMuse - DIY and commercial

DanDOF — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 13:11:01 +0000

I am interested in discussing possible DIY setups for an affordable ($500 or less) motor-based camera stabilization system. Most likely this will use a combination of gimbals, gyros, brushless motors and some controller. However, I think there is potential of at least discussing the combination of of rack pinion gear system instead of gimbals for stabilizing 3-axis movment (X, Y, Z).

TOPIC RULES:

Don't put people down for asking basic questions. I am new to this knowledge area too (with no experience using RC multicopters).
Encourage creative thinking. Perhaps stabilizing cameras handheld requires/deserves a different approach than tech used on multicopters.

I am reserving this post as a summary of "good/feasible" ideas.

I think I've finally found my stabilizer rig, a digital 3-axis gyro-stabilized handheld camera gimbal, this is AWESOME.

Affordable Digital 3-Axis Camera stabilization for the GH3

I am interested in systems like the Freefly MōVI M5 // Link here: http://store.freeflysystems.com/collections/movi/products/freefly-movi-m

We do not have such a budget. Are there any good alternatives around 1.000 - 3.000 Euro? We are shooting on Panasonic GH3s.

Thanks in advance. Alex
